Leverage Points | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Decide WHERE to intervene in a system for maximum effect using Donella Meadows' leverage-points lens — push interventions toward high-leverage places (goals, rules, self-organization, paradigm) and away from low-leverage ones (parameters, buffers, taxes/subsidies). Use when choosing where to act on a complex system, prioritizing competing fixes, designing a policy/intervention/process change, diagnosing why a problem keeps recurring despite effort, or when a past fix didn't stick. The systems-science sharpening of "fix the system, not the symptom.
